Episode 73: SUMMER OF SHARKS 2 #8 - Open Water

Episode 73 of The HD Movie Podcast is here! Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren Gaskell wade through those cinematic waters to bring you another chat about a movie of any genre, any year and any quality.
The second Summer Of Sharks turns darker this episode with a discussion of 2003's OPEN WATER, directed by Chris Kentis and starring Blanchard Ryan and Daniel Travis. Both Hayley and Darren weren't exactly blown away by their previous viewings of this but did a rewatch turn them around?

Episode 72: SUMMER OF SHARKS 2 #7 - Sharknado 4

Episode 72 of The HD Movie Podcast is here! Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren Gaskell are back to take a swim around the world of movies. Those movies, as you probably know by now, can be of any year, any genre and any quality.
The second Summer Of Sharks continues with another fourth movie in a film franchise. Our hero Fin heads to Las Vegas as a new meteorological menace rears its head(s) in SHARKNADO: THE FOURTH AWAKENS!
When the craziest shark movie series hits the craziest place in the world, do the expected sparks fly? Is the series beginning to run out of steam? Did April survive the falling debris on Sharknado 3? All these questions and more will be answered in this very episode!
The music you hear in the HD Movie Podcast - apart from the Sharknado theme which is playing in your head - is written and performed by Mitch Bain: @whoelsebutmitch on Twitter, evertheoptimitch on Instagram.

Episode 71: SUMMER OF SHARKS 2 #6 - Jaws: The Revenge

Episode 71 of The HD Movie Podcast is here! Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren Gaskell once again dive headlong into movies of any year, any genre and any quality.
Your hosts are back to continue their second Summer Of Sharks and this time they're here to finish off the Jaws franchise - or will it finish them? Michael Caine may never have seen this movie but he's certainly in it - it's JAWS: THE REVENGE!
Expect a whole load of chat about the film's wacky plot, Mario Van Peebels channelling the spirit of the Caribbean, Lorraine Gary channelling a different kind of spirit altogether and that's before the subject of a roaring shark rears its head (quite literally, in this film). It's a fun old time!

Episode 69: SUMMER OF SHARKS 2 #5 - Dark Tide (Guest: Cait Orton)

Episode 69 of The HD Movie Podcast is here! Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren Gaskell take the plunge into movies of any year, any genre and any quality.
The second Summer Of Sharks is about to hit its halfway point and Special Guest Cait Orton is back for her second episode in a row, this time to give her thoughts on 2012's DARK TIDE which stars Halle Berry and is directed by John Stockwell.
Cait and our hosts talk underwater photography, marine tourism and the importance of getting the technical aspects correct even in a fictional work. If you think that all sounds a little too worthy and serious, Cait and Hayley also have to ensure Darren does not allow his Halle Berry worship to spiral out of control.

Episode 68: SUMMER OF SHARKS 2 #4 - She Gods Of Shark Reef (Guest: Cait Orton)

Episode 68 of The HD Movie Podcast is here! Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren Gaskell dive into movies of any year, any genre and any quality.
The podcast's second Summer Of Sharks is into its fourth week and this time our hosts are joined by a returning guest! Shark fan Cait Orton is here to talk 1958's SHE GODS OF SHARK REEF, directed by genre icon Roger Corman.
Are there She Gods? Is there a shark? Is there a reef? We answer those questions as well as discussing the nature of shooting a genuine B-movie, some questionable character choices and a potential "Cannibal Holocaust situation" which undermines the kitsch somewhat.

Episode 67 of The HD Movie Podcast is here! Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren Gaskell are here for another trip into the world of movies - that's movies of any genre, any year and any quality.
It's the third helping of our second Summer Of Sharks series and strewth, we're heading to Australia to take a look at 2012's BAIT, directed by Kimble Rendall! A tsunami floods a supermarket but that's the least of the staff and shoppers' worries as the water also brings in a bloody great shark! Clean up on Aisle 4...
Your hosts discuss all the usual on screen and behind the scenes stuff you'd expect plus they give their takes on multiple viewings of this movie, including one as part of a Bad Film Club. It is truly bad or just a little misunderstood? Find out here!

Episode 66 of The HD Movie Podcast is here! Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren Gaskell are your guides to an ongoing trek through  films of any year, any genre and any quality.
The Summer Of Sharks continues and this episode continues with the threequel motif from the last episode. It's time to jump back into the waters of The Asylum's finest as Hayley and Darren get caught up in SHARKNADO 3: OH HELL NO!
Expect talk of stunt casting, ridiculous action set-pieces, fish-related character names and THAT ending, which led to a Twitter poll that one of your hosts participated in.

It's time for another SUMMER OF SHARKS! Over the next few episodes Hayley and Darren will be wading into dangerous waters as they discuss another batch of flicks featuring their favourite aquatic menace!
To open the second summer of shark-based shenanigans, it's threequel time as your hosts head off to Sea World for JAWS III! There's no Martin Brody but there's lots of things being poked into your face, 3-D version or not! Does this Scheider-free sequel have the necessary bite?

Episode 64: A Good Day To Die Hard

Episode 64 of The HD Movie Podcast is here! Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren Gaskell discuss films of any genre, any year and any quality (they don't just pick the good ones).
In this episode, it's time to bid farewell to the Die Hard franchise as your hosts take a look at the final movie in the series, A GOOD DAY TO DIE HARD! John McClane takes a trip to Moscow, intending to patch things up with his son, but soon he's involved in the usual destructive shenanigans that seem to follow him around.
How does this one stack up in relation to the other Die Hard movies and what's that all-important overall ranking of each film in the series? Only one way to find out (other than pestering the hosts on social media and even then they might not give out the answer)...
